Chords and Lyrics:
[Intro]
|G Bm | Em Em7 | C | C |
[Verse 1]
G Bm Em Em7
I read the news today, oh boy
C C/B Asus2
About a lucky man who made the grade
G Bm Em Em7
And though the news was rather sad
C F Em Em7
Well, I just had to laugh
C F Em C
I saw the photograph
[Verse 2]
G Bm Em Em7
He blew his mind out in a car
C C/B Asus2
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
G Bm Em Em7
A crowd of people stood and stared
C F
They'd seen his face before
Em
Nobody was really sure
Em7 C
If he was from the House of Lords
[Verse 3]
G Bm Em Em7
I saw a film today, oh boy
C C/B Asus2
The English Army had just won the war
G Bm Em Em7
A crowd of people turned away
C F
But I just had to look
Em Em7 C
Having read the book
| Em/F# Em/G | Em/A Em/B | Em/C# Em/D | Em | ...
I'd love to turn you on (orchestral glissando)
[Middle 8]
E
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dsus2
Dragged a comb across my head
E B7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
E B7sus4
And looking up I noticed I was late
E
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Dsus2
Made the bus in seconds flat
E B7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
E B7sus4
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
[Interlude]

(Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
[Verse 4]
G Bm Em Em7
I read the news today oh boy
C C/B Asus2
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
G Bm Em Em7
And though the holes were rather small
C F
They had to count them all
Em Em7 C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
| Em/F# Em/G | Em/A Em/B | Em/C Em/D | Em | ...
I'd love to turn you on (orchestral glissando)
[Coda]

SL: Perhaps one of the greatest songs
I don’t know about you, but the first time I heard this song was on a
youtube video with pictures and clips of funny dogs.
I must’ve been middle school-aged…
Wandering the interwebs with innocence and wonder…
Unaware of the wild journey my ears were about to embark.
And I believe it was precisely the nature of the video that made this
song so memorable to pre-pubescent me.
I was completely blown away…
Side note — I believe, through the newly-formed hormonal synapses,
there are a few songs that virtually every 12 to 14-year-old listens to
for the first time and becomes completely enamored with:
– Bohemian Rhapsody
– Mr. Blue Sky
– The entirety of Dark Side of the Moon
Anyway, add this song to the list…
See, I was a fan of The Beatles at this point of my life and had
listened to their greatest hits album many, many times — but this song
didn’t make the cut.
At the time, I didn’t know what this song was, and the only way I could
listen to it was by watching this stupid dog video.
Obviously, this was a time before Shazaam, Siri, Alexa, etc…
And to my surprise, after listening to the entirety of Sgt. Pepper’s
Lonely Hearts Club Band,
I had finally discovered the title to this mysterious track.
And now, here is your priority-access first look, before anyone else, at
my new cover of “A Day In The Life”:

Enjoy,
Sgt. Dylan
